Powermatic 4224
My opinion is that the 4224 is the best lathe in the price
range...knock the spots off WoodFast / Vicmarc / Delta ....but don't expect a One Way or Stubby for the price...I had problems with delivery (they dropped the lathe on the way) and had another one shipeed the same day...another factor is the spindle threading...it is about 1/2" longer than WoodFast / VicMarc...and my smaller vicmarc chuck wouldn't fully thread on... so i bought a new insert from packard woodworks which allows for this extra length... The lathe does have an large selection of add-ons and has made a great production spindle and bowl lathe... |
